and all Ae pl.arapl.analia ofcntl.usiastic whig meetings. Loco Famlanso at C'oitneraville. What imitative beings these locos are. In IM-10 they condemnod all excitements, parades, music, banners, songs and shouts, as demoralizing in thoir effects upon community, and oflensivo in tho sight of Deity. Thon, all who participated in tho glorious meetings which characterized tho campaign of 18-10, wore donounced as drunken rovollers, fools, and an interminable list of billingsgate epithets. And even tho ladies, tho fairest work of nil God's creation, were slandered and vilified in vulgar and obscone appellations. But now w hat is tho fact. Thesn men who unm nen so bitter in their denunciations aro now the most active in those things which they thon so deeply condemned. On last Friday this party which a few months since entertained such holy horror for tho conduct of the whigs, hold an out and out fandango at Connersvillo. It is said to have been numerously attended; but the number present was by no means extraordinary considering the great exertions which wore used to induce the people to nttond. They sung whig songs altered to Polk songs, and we understand tho attemjt was not a bad imitation. They shouted too, because the whig? shout, and not because there was any elhusiasm in their meeting to call them forth. They had banners becauso tho whigs havo banners they carried hickory poles because the whigs carry ash poles. They carried polk stalks becauso tho whigs sometimes carry '

ah boughs. The whole afTair was as imitative j WM. ELLIOTT Pres. of tho actions of tho whigs, as tho capers of the ! S. S.
